Your home office may be a small nook in your home or an entire room, but either way- it’s important to keep it organized. We are constantly trying to stay and feel more organized in life and your home office is the epicenter of organization. It stores your calendars, work information, important appointment dates, pictures, and files. If you want to get uber-organized in the new year- your home office is the perfect place to start. Here are some of our best design ideas and organization tips for creating a streamlined and organized office.

1. Evaluate your individual needs. Ask yourself these questions:

-What is this space primarily used for? Work, storage, kids doing their homework?

- Do you have a computer, printer, scanner, copier, or multiple computers?

-Do you need space to spread out your work or do you work primarily from your computer?

-Do you have wires that need to be contained?

-Do you need a built in file system?

-Do you have books to store?

-Is this space a multi-purpose room? Do you need space/storage for other activities or hobbies?

Evaluating the needs of your space is the most important part of organizing your home office. Once you get that done, your half way there!
